Halloween is almost here! It's one of my favorite times of the year. I love to dress up and especially love to see the kids dressed up. It’s so much fun to me. Last year while we were in Vegas, I dressed up like an NHRA Cheerleader. I haven’t decided on this years costume yet. If I am home, I will be going to my friend Brooke’s birthday party. A costume party, of course. I’m not sure yet if I will be home though. I’ve actually been traveling a bit lately. This past weekend I was in Richmond, Va., for the races. It was kind of a last minute thing and I wasn’t too sure how I was going to take it because of my last two episodes at the races, which were in Gainesville and Indy, but this time was different. I’m not sure if it was because the bikes were not there, or because I am just feeling better about it, but I was really happy to be there from the moment I got to the track.

A couple weekends before that, I went to Orange Beach, Ala., with my parents for a Shriners event. Seth had to work so unfortunately he couldn’t make it. My dad and I hung out on the beach together while my mom went to a tea party. They had to create their own themed hats for the party. Here’s a picture of me wearing the one my mom made. We also had a door decorating contest and best of all, a luau. We had a blast! My dad’s Shriner friends are wonderful people and I really enjoy being around them.

I’ve also been busy at home. Besides studying and the usual Coral Fever stuff, I am now working with a company called G Smith Motorsports. They are a locally owned Bourget Bike Works Motorcycle Dealer located in St. Rose, La.  Bourget Bike Works is well known in the motorcycle industry for its unique custom designed motorcycles. BBW is ranked one of the top motorcycle builders in the custom motorcycle world.

This is from the press release:

Glen Smith, co-owner of G. Smith motorsports comments, “A partnership between G. Smith Motorsports and Angelle Sampey is a perfect match. As we move forward with major event rallies and fundraising activities across the south, we are proud to have Angelle represent our business. Angelle’s dedication to the racing industry and her drive to be the best align with the G. Smith/Bourget business philosophy. We strive to be the best in product, sales and service to our clients.”

Angelle’s first public appearance representing G. Smith Motorsports is Saturday, Nov. 7 from noon until 4:00 p.m. at Louisiana Custom Cruisers Benefit Car Show in Boutte, La. Angelle will showcase her new Bourget motorcycle provided by G. Smith Motorsports, as well as sign autographs and take pictures with fans. Come join us.

I am very excited about this opportunity. G Smith Motorsports is involved in lots of charities that I am proud to be a part of.

Speaking of Charities. I want you guys to know about one in particular that is very close to my heart. It’s called Jaylen’s Challenge. The website address is http://www.jaylenschallenge.org

This site is the dream of a wonderful little boy named Jaylen. Jaylen suffers from Tourette Syndrome. He wants to educate people about bullying, bringing attention to the difficulties he faces in his day to day living . He hopes to make you laugh, make you cry, but most importantly make you aware that those with disabilities are not only normal - but incredibly special people. With your help and support he can spread the word and teach people to help ... not bully

The reason that this is so close to my heart is because my nephew Logan has Tourette Syndrome. It’s such a terrible thing for other kids to bully such sweet children like Logan and Jaylen for something that they don’t understand. So if you guys have kids, or even if you don’t, please take a moment to look at Jaylen’s site. Help your kids to understand what Tourette’s is, and that they should never bully or tease a child that has it. Help them to understand that they should never bully anyone for any reason.

Well that’s about all that I have for you guys today. I wish you all a very SPOOKtacular Halloween! Be safe and Have Fun!! I know I will!
 

One day Boudreaux went to the doctor to get a check up. Boudreaux says to the doctor, "Mais you know something doc ... my wife Clotile, she's having trouble wit her hearing."

De doc say, "Well Boudreaux, how bad is it?"

"Mais doc I don't know how bad it really is but she don't seem to hear me at all. What's de best way to find out how bad her hearing is?"

De doc say, "Boudreaux, when you get home stand about 20 feet behind Clotile and say something in your regular voice. If Clotile don't respond then move up 10 feet and try again. If you don't get any response again move up five feet and try, then if you don't get any response move right up behind her and try."

When Boudreax got home, Clotile was wash dem dish in de sink so he get about 20 feet back and say, "Clotile what we havin for dinner?"

Mais there was no response, so he move up 10 feet and say dat again. Still no response so he move up five feet and try. Nothing...

"Hunh, it worse dan I tought," Boudreaux say to himself.

He move right up behind Clotile now and ax her one mo time, "Clotile, what we havin for dinner?"

Clotile turned, looked at him and said, "For the fourth time, I said we havin' chicken and rice!"
 

Ok, so I figured it was time that I drop in to say hello and tell you guys what’s been going on in my “non racing” world. Actually, I have really been enjoying my time off even more than I anticipated. I guess after nearly 14 years of traveling, a break was exactly what I needed. It’s been so nice to be home for every occasion that I’ve been missing for so many years. It’s funny when my friends and family call me and ask, “Angelle, will you be home the weekend of…” and I just laugh and say, “Yes, I’ll be home.” It’s funny because they are asking because they expect me to say “no,” or that “I have to check my race calendar,” and most of the time I would have a race on the weekend in question. But this time when they ask, I don’t even have to look… I just know I will be home. So some of what I’ve been up to is spending time with friends and family. I have been very fortunate to be able to help my mom and dad take care of my 95-year-old grandmother. Her name is Doris Sampey. She is my dad’s mom. My dad and his brothers and sister are taking turns having her for a little while at a time, and when she is at my parents house, I get to see her. Last visit, I styled her hair and did her makeup before we attended my nephew Logan’s 7th birthday party, an event that I would normally miss due to the Chicago or Englishtown race.

I’ve always found it amazing that my grandmother is 95 and still going strong, but I really freaked out when she told me what year she was born, I just hadn’t thought about it that way before. She said it was in 1914. I just can’t get a handle on that. Can you imagine? The progress she has witnessed… the technology, the changes, the births, and the deaths. It overwhelms me to think of what she has seen and experienced. The other night, I sat and wrote out our family tree just to see what lives have taken place because of her. It was pretty amazing to see how many people she and my late grandfather are responsible for. Both of my grandfathers passed several years ago, but both of my grandmothers are still doing great. I really am thankful for this time that I am getting to spend with both of them. I am including a picture of the two: Doris Sampey, 95, on the left, and Helen Hartman, 86, on the right.

Another thing that has been taking up most my time is my studying. I am back in school to get my RN license reinstated. I have to take a Registered Nurse refresher course because I’ve been out of the field for so long. I want to get my license reinstated regardless of whether or not I return to racing. I know that sponsors come and go and racing can end for so many different reasons, so I want to have another option open. I was talking to a friend the other day. He says that he’s anxious to hear about the day I get a patient that is a diehard NHRA race fan. He say’s he can just imagine the patients face when I walk into the room and introduce myself as his or her nurse. I thought about it, and I kinda hope it happens. If my racing can help to make someone’s stay in the hospital a better experience, then I’m all for it.

When I am not studying or catching up with family, I have been continuing to work on Seth’s and my business, Coral Fever. I’ve added lots of items to our online store at www.coralfever.com. I’ve also changed up my website at www.goangelle.com. I have some more to do, but I only get to work on that stuff in small increments of time. Business is slow right now, just like everything with this economy, but Seth and I are very passionate about our aquariums and we do it more for the passion than for the business, but it sure would be nice for it to be profitable in the long run.

Speaking of Seth, as most of you who read my blogs know, he is a Combat Medic in the Louisiana National Guard, and the other day he was assigned to work with recruiting at the New Orleans D-Day museum for the World War II Memorial Celebration. He called and asked me to meet him downtown. I was studying but decided that I needed a break. I drove him and three other soldiers to lunch at “Mothers,” a place that I highly suggest if you ever make it to “The Big Easy.” After he was done at the museum, a few of us went to my friends pub called “Maguires” on Magazine Street, where we met some World War II vets. Then we went to the New Orleans French Market, then stopped in at Jimmy Buffets “Margaritaville” and finally ended the day with some great Sushi in the French Quarter before heading back home. It was an unplanned day that ended up being one of the greatest I’ve had in a while. Seth and I have lots of fun together and I also enjoy being with soldiers AND I love downtown New Orleans. It was a very blessed day!

So I have to admit that although I am still unemployed and I hate to study and life without racing could be construed as no life at all, I do find myself extremely happy and extremely relaxed and most importantly of all, EXTREMELY BLESSED!!

Just as I said in an earlier post, God has put me exactly where he wants me and I know that he has a plan for me. Still don’t know exactly what that plan is or when it is going to be put into action, but as far as I am concerned, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why we call it “The Present!” And I am making the most of each day I am given.

I hate to end this with such sorrow, but I want to let you guys know that my cousin Eric Matherne passed away a few days ago. He was only 27 years old. It was an accident that took his life at such a young age. This is why I consider each day a gift. We just never know when it’s going to be our last. My friends, family and I have experienced a lot of loss in the past few months. I sure wouldn’t mind a break from that too! As usual, I would like to ask for your prayers for Eric’s family and friends. Coping with such an unexpected loss is so tough and prayers are greatly needed and always appreciated!

Until next time,..... God Bless you all, and remember to enjoy the present!

It’s Boudreaux time!!
This one is a little long, but it’s funny.

The IRS decides to audit Boudreaux, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Boudreaux shows up with his attorney. The IRS had demanded $23,000 in taxes from Boudreaux due to unreported income.

The auditor says, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”

“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Boudreaux. “How about a demonstration?”

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, “Okay. Go ahead.”

Boudreaux says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”

The auditor thinks a moment and says, “No way! It’s a bet.”

Boudreaux removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.

Boudreaux says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”

The auditor can tell Boudreaux isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Boudreaux removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Boudreaux’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

“Want to go double or nothing?” Boudreaux asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this guy can manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Boudreaux stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Boudreaux’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

“Are you okay?” the auditor asks. “Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Boudreaux told me he’d been summoned to appear in person before the IRS, he bet me twenty-thousand dollars that he could come in here and urinate all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”

I wish I were here to give you guys some good news but unfortunately my life has been filled with bad news in the last couple of weeks. My brother has been dealing with some health issues that had him hospitalized for a few days. He’s going to have surgery soon, and as you all know, with the today’s economy, anything that keeps us away from work is NOT good.

Sadly, my brother’s issues are the lightest of what I have to share. I recently lost a friend of mine from a motorcycle accident. His name was Mike Espe and he was a longtime employee of Star Racing. George Bryce, my former crew chief is the owner of Star Racing, along with his wife Jackie. I’ve known Mike and his wife, Tammy, for more than 13 years now. If you’ve ever called Star Racing for anything, there is a good chance that you talked to Mike. He was always so sweet and friendly. Mike did not have life insurance so if any of you would like to help Tammy and Mike’s family with funeral expenses, you can send love offerings to Tammy Espe, C/O Star Racing, PO Box 1241, Americus GA 31709. Friends and family may send their condolences online at www.raineyfuneral.com.

Just as I was beginning to feel a little better after hearing of Mike’s accident, I received a call that a friend of my family was also killed in a motorcycle accident. His name was Cody Rodrigue from Houma, La. Ironically, Cody and Mike were both working on a friend's motorcycle and decided to give it a test ride after, which is when the accidents happened.

My heart has been feeling like a big gaping hole in my chest for the past week. I am also dealing with some personal issues that are costing me a lot of money that I don’t have, but when things happen, like the loss of Cody and Mike, it always puts my life in perspective for me. I realize that any problem I may be faced with at this time is nothing compared to what some people are faced with. I count my blessings and hold my chin up as best I can.

I still don’t have any leads on getting back on the racetrack anytime soon, but I have been working really hard on putting my life together here at home. Seth and I have been busy with getting our business, Coral Fever, up and running. I’ve put a lot of hours into getting the Web site and online store done (which I am not finished with yet) as well as, brochures, business cards, uniforms, Quickbooks, tax stuff, inventory, yada, yada, yada! All of the stuff that has to be taken care of to get a business going. It looks like we will be focusing a lot on aquarium maintenance services. We had our first service appointment about a week ago. This time I had to do more than feed the fish, which is all that I am responsible for at home. Seth does most of the maintenance work and I mostly hold stuff and get stuff. Until I get back to the computer that i,... then it’s the yucky business stuff that I am responsible for.

Well gang, that’s about all I have for you right now. I hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend. Please remember Mike and Cody’s families along with my brother’s upcoming surgery in your prayers. Thank you!

Angelle
 

Thank God that is over! The Gatornationals, I mean. What an emotional roller coaster I was on. I landed in Gainesville on Thursday at noon, and was so excited to see Andy. Seth and I rushed over to Junglefriends, and I was like a kid in a candy store. I just couldn’t wait to see my baby boy!! As I approached Andy’s enclosure, I could see him looking towards me. He looked at me and as soon as I got close enough for him to recognize me he started to SCREAM!! He was so excited to see us. My heart was pounding and I was so happy to see him again. He looks so beautiful. His color has changed from being outdoors and getting more sun light. He is now a beautiful reddish brown and black. He is so healthy looking. He seems so much more relaxed now and I can tell that he is happy and very well taken care of.

About an hour after I arrived, the local distributors from Coca Cola met me there to present Kari and Junglefriends with a large donation of Powerade. The last time I was at Junglefriends, some of the volunteer workers were drinking the G word. You know that “other” stuff that isn’t nearly as good as POWERade! Anyway, when I saw that, I just couldn’t let it go without taking some action. I called my friends at Coca Cola and asked if I could exchange a personal appearance, or something, for a donation on behalf of the NHRA to Junglefriends. They graciously accepted and I truly thank them for it.

It was really quiet while we were there, because Kari said that she is in desparate need of volunteers. So if any of you guys live near Gainesville or would like to take a road trip ... please look them up at www.junglefriends.org There are still so many enclosures that need to be built for all of the monkeys. There are now 117, I think, and Andy is still the best looking one there!

After spending about three hours with Andy, Seth and I checked into our room to get cleaned up for dinner. We met Louis (ESPN), Kevin (NHRA) and Mindy (Ringers Gloves) for some awesome Sushi at this really cool place called Dragonfly Sushi in Downtown Gainesville. The food was great but the company was even better. I was already having a WONDERFUL trip and I had only been there for 10 hours.

Friday morning arrived and I was anxious to get to the track. I went directly to Antron’s trailer and hung out with some friends while waiting for qualifying to begin. I felt happy and excited to be a race fan for the weekend. I was talking to a fan when all of a sudden I heard a Pro Stock Motorcycle going down the track. IT HIT ME LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN!!!! I immediately started to tremble and without ANY warning, my eyes swelled up with tears and I couldn’t breath! At first it was instant panic. I thought to myself,...” Oh NO, I’m LATE!” I felt as if I was supposed to be in the staging lanes and I was terribly late! Then instantly I realized that I wasn’t supposed to be anywhere, I don’t have a ride.

For the first time in 13 years, the bikes are going down the track and I am not with them. The emotions were just about to EXPLODE out of me when I rushed over to Billie Jo (my cousin and Antron’s wife), I grabbed her hand and tried to say “Help me” but nothing came out. She felt me shaking and fortunately knew exactly what was happening. She took me into one of the team lounges and as soon as the door shut behind me, I lost it! I MEAN I LOST IT!! I cried like a baby and felt so stupid and weak because of it. I thought that I had come to terms with not racing this year. I thought I was okay with it. I thought I had accomplished enough to satisfy my desire and that this weekend was going to be so much fun! I was so very wrong.

Thank You Billie Jo for being there for me. She began to talk to me as I kept saying “Why is this upsetting me so much? Why am I crying? I was ok with it! I really thought I was ok!” Billie reminded me that the last 13 years of my life has been 100 percent consumed with Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing. I put everything I have and everything I am into this career. Of course it’s going to hurt to not be on that track.

After talking with Billie, I did manage to regain my composure and return to the fan that I ran off from without any notice. I apologized and signed his hat which is what he was asking of me when I had to walk away. He was very nice and understanding. I decided after that episode that I would not be going to the bike pits or to the starting line. I just couldn’t handle it.

I returned to my original plan which was to make my rounds and visit friends. I went over to the ESPN compound which is my second favorite place at the track. (winner's circle would be the first) Stopped by the Army trailer to see my Soldier friends and also made it up to the tower to visit with Bob Frey. He put me on the mic and I got to talk to the crowd. It was fun. Stopped in at the NHRA suite and at the end of the day, I even made it over to the Alehouse for a glass of wine with Colonel Lee and my favorite PR Dude, Chris Dirato.

Sunday morning was tough on me again. I went up for first round with Antron and as they sang the National Anthem, my heart began to break once more. I was much more composed but still very upset as the Gatornationals were kicking off and I wasn’t going to be a part of it. Seth and I watched Antron win first round and after the bikes ran, I went up to the tower with a very heavy heart to visit Alan Reinhart. He made me laugh, as usual, which lifted my spirits but I had still seen enough, so I decided to leave the track. I spent the rest of the day with my baby boy Andy and Seth and I flew home on Monday.

I am so glad it’s over. I have faced reality and I can now honestly say, I am good with it. Actually I am even better than I ever was before. I feel recharged. I am on a mission! God has a plan for me! He might be trying to keep it a secret from me for now, but I know I will find out just what he has in store for me real soon. What ever it is, I am going to make every second count!

My life is an occasion and I am about to rise to it!!

An' now, a little Cajun lesson in speech: 
 

I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you guys that Seth and I are going to Gainesville to watch Antron race. I will be hanging out in Mike Ashley’s Matco Top Fuel dragster pits for the weekend. I am going to stroll around a bit as well and visit my friends in the ESPN trailer and some other friends like Bob Frey, Alan Reinhart, Mike Dunn, Lewis Bloom, and quite a few others I hope. I did receive a few messages from fans wondering if I’d be there, so I wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be chillin’ like a villain with my little brother and favorite Top Fuel racer, Antron Brown. No, he’s not actually my little brother, but he is my cousin-in-law, and he calls me sister sis, and I love him just like my brother! I am also going to visit Erica Enders and watch her race. She is such a sweet person, and I really want to see her do well. It would be so awesome if she won this weekend! I love her car too — it’s so cool! I’ve never been able t o really watch much of the races before, so this time I am going to soak it all up.

It will be really weird getting to wear regular clothes to the races instead of being in a uniform. It’s funny to me to see racers and crew people out of uniform. It’s just something we rarely ever see from each other. Race team members are at the track for so long, and we wear the same thing everyday. Well the same-looking thing, not actually the SAME thing — LOL! Even when we go out to dinner at the end of the day, everyone is still in uniform. Sometimes, I can’t even recognize some people unless they are in uniform. Well, I know it’s a funny thing for me to be thinking about, but this is the first time in 13 years that I get to actually watch the races and to dress like a girl the whole weekend. I mean no disrespect, but sometimes these uniforms just don’t feel very feminine, ya know? That’s why I loved my Bates Leathers so much last year. The girls at Bates really focused on designing a pair of leathers that were meant to be worn by a girl. Especially with all the bling that I added to them, they were really fun to race with.

The best part of the weekend is going to be when I go to visit my boy Andy. If you didn’t already know, I use to have a monkey. His name is Andy, and he now lives about 10 minutes from the Gainesville Raceway. He lives at Junglefriends with about 100 other monkeys. I haven’t seen him in 10 months! I miss him so much. He is actually the main reason that I chose the Gators to go to. What a great weekend it’s going to be for me. I get to see Andy AND the races. I am more excited than I thought I would be.

WOW!!! A transformer just blew right outside of my house. Everything went black. I am on my laptop, so it kicked over to battery and the screen is the only light on in the house. It’s late, so we can’t see a thing. I have to light some candles.

Ok, I’m back. Fortunately, we remain prepared for hurricanes around here, so I have battery-powered lanterns and LOTS of candles. I did buy a Guardian generator after the last storm, but as luck would have it, we still haven’t had it installed. I can hear Seth running around tending to the aquariums. This is NOT good. We now have about 800 gallons of aquariums here with thousands of dollars worth of fish and coral that don’t take kindly to power outages. Seth did pour the slab the other day for the generator, so I bet this will be the push we needed to get it installed. I just hope it doesn’t happen while we are in Gainesville.

Speaking of the aquariums, I mentioned in my last blog that we were going to start a coral business. Well things are looking good so far. It is called Coral Fever, and instead of just dealing with corals, we kinda bumped into another deal. While we were getting our business license, we met a lady whose son owns a restaurant with an aquarium in it. They lost everything in the aquarium during the last storm here. That happened to so many people around here. Anyway, we went to meet him the other day and talked to him about getting his aquarium up and running again and also about doing the maintenance to keep it looking nice. So after thinking about it, it just seemed natural since Seth loves to care for these aquariums. We are going to try to build a little business to sell fish, corals and supplies but also to do aquarium maintenance. I think that more people would have aquariums if they had someone to help them to keep them up. They are so beautiful and relaxing to look at, but boy oh boy, are they a lot of work! Fortunately for me, I just feed the fish and enjoy the view. Well now I will be running the business side of Coral Fever, so I guess I have to work some, too. So if you guys are into aquariums, check us out at www.coralfever.com. I am building the site right now, so it’s under construction, but I’ll be getting more things up a soon as possible.

I also mentioned in my last blog that I’ve been entering my photos in some contests. Well I won the last one I entered. It was for the Louisiana Reef Club’s Web site. You can see my winning photo at www.lareefclub.com — It’s on the homepage. The contest was for pic of the month. No prize or anything, but I WON!!!! It was funny because I kept checking the votes to see how I was doing, and every time I would take the lead, I would get so excited. Seth would say, “Why are you so excited about this little contest? It’s not like you win anything.” I said, “ARE YOU CRAZY? If you win, that means YOU WIN!!!!!” After I said that, I realized that I am sick with the competitive spirit. I mean, really. It is just a little picture of the month contest that is voted on by the members of the site, and here I am nervous to the core wanting to win so badly. I was thinking that as I grew older that the spirit to compete would die, but it hasn’t even begun to dim yet. When I compete at something, I want to WIN!! I even hurt a shoulder muscle recently playing Wii tennis cause I was trying so hard to win. But if you think that is funny listen to this!

My brother cracked his ribs while playing the Wii bowling game! Ha, Ha, Ha! Now that is a competitive spirit! The crazy man was bowling so hard that he slipped and fell to the ground with his elbow between his ribs and the floor and “CRACK.” He tried to get up and brush off the pain hoping that no one really noticed, but after a couple days of having trouble breathing, he got an X-ray and, voila, crack ribs. I am sorry Rickie, but that is hilarious — You crack your ribs playing Wii, I’m never going to let you live that one down brother!

I am working on something pretty exciting concerning my future in racing, but I can’t tell you just yet. I just wanted to plant that seed for the time being. I have a meeting planned in Gainesville to find out more about it, and hopefully when I get back, I will be able to tell you what it is. So wish me luck!

That’s it for now gang. Oh, I forgot, Mardi Gras was a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast as usual. I posted a couple pics for you. Last but hopefully not least, here’s Boudreaux …

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, headlines in the Los Angeles Times newspaper read: ‘California archaeologists have found traces of 200-year-old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.’

One week later, “The Thibodaux Gazette,” a local newspaper in Thibodaux, LA, reported the following: ‘After digging as deep as 30 feet in a cane field near Houma, Boudreaux, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Boudreaux has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Louisiana had already gone wireless.’
